Nikon’s new AF-S DX lens 35mm f/1.8G
It seems we are waiting for a long time,Nikon finally announced the new 35mm lens which is designed for modern cultures photo sensor (DX). This lens is
perfect for Nikon beginners camera such as Nikon D40, D60 and advanced camera like the Nikon D90, D200 and D300.
The focal length of 35 mm is close to full-frame 50mm camera, a classical focus for the photographer. Mechanically, this has been equipped with AF-S Silent
Wave Motor (SWM) to ensure fast and quiet AF operation.
Mounted on a camera in DX format, the fixed focal length, the rapid opening of the lens offers photographers a range similar to the focal length of 50 mm
traditional - allowing photographers to capture images at a focal length of similar to the naked eye in the field of view.
The AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G is the first single focal length of a normal picture angle developed exclusively for Nikon DX format. It is compact and
lightweight, which gives the model of reproduction of high-performance single to a single focal length lens at an affordable price. This lens is most
suitable for portrait and landscape shooting.
It will be a good news for users of D40 and D60, because these cameras have lens AF-S for the operation of auto focus. Most of the old Nikon equivalent focal
length prime lenses do not have this ability AF-S.
Every coins has two sides.Unfortunately, this goal is only compatible with DX format camera, which means that the D3 or D700 owners can not use it for the
full-frame or have poor image quality particularly in the corner of the area. But this is not a big deal since just launched the new Nikkor 50mm AF-S f/1.4G
recently for full frame users, in addition, full-writers can use the old but reliable AF Nikkor 35mm f / 2.
This will be sold at $ 200, which is less expensive than most of the goals except the Nikon 50mm f/1.8 and 18-55mm VR kit lens.
